Houston Calls - Elephant And Castle lyrics

Rachel left home last night the city sleeps through train lights stars in the sky are all that keep her alive she packed up and ditched the town that saw all her ups and downs she severed all ties to start all over again calling all tickets the train leaves in minutes sits near the window she turns her back on the city she once called home the yard where she ran through snow the streets driven up and down and through and through the lot where she'd stare at stars the porch nights she'd count the cars they're all memories of simpler times now gone thinking back to the first time her mom said, "I'll let you move on if you want to, remember I love you." [Chorus] "Please just go little girl," the city calls her this is your chance, this is your freedom "Please don't go little girl." her father says to her it won't work out, it won't be easy holding back tears of joy she steps out into the world the city lights look just the way they did on tv she flails her arms she runs both up and down the sidewalks thinking back to the times when she spent it all dreaming now she's found what she wanted, found what she's needed [Chorus] please let go little girls of everything you know you start it now, you've started over
